Alright kids, the grown ups are in the room now. Also Dino General I guess...
Strange question but what's a good realistic alligator like tail that'd fit on a the ass of a Marvel Legend sized female figure It's fine if nothing comes to mind, I couldn't think of anything besides zoo crocodile toys but the sizes of those are always lies online
>>11921166>RealisticClosest you're probably going to get is the nanmu crocodilesThough, one that is on a 1/12th scale humanoid figure is the FuRay Planet Crocker figure. It's meant for something almost 8 inches tall, but that isn't a terrible scale against what, after checking the height of exactly one female marvel legends figure, is 6 inches tall. The tail would probably be a bit fat, but believable by comparison.
>>11921182Nanmu would be ideal by I don't wanna buy that just for the tail, and something more Hammond Collection would be fine too. I'm making a smallish gator in a robot woman suit so I need the tail sticking out and the head is somewhat realistic so it has to match
>>11921185Ah, fair enough. Don't have a good suggestion for you then. Good luck with it, though, anon.
>>11921149I've seen the original pop up on Ebay like once or twice but other then that, I only consistently see the Glow in the Dark Zuni on there and everywhere else, it's just the albino one. No clue why the OG's so hard to come across

>>11920878all you need to know is that blokees aren't a made-to-order toy line. pre-orders are just for people who want to pay a week early. you can still buy it and in fact it will become cheaper after a month from release. so you can buy them on ali right now no problem or if you dont mind waiting they'll probably cut the price about a month from now.
>>11920878POs open 1~2 week before release so you don't really need to PO unless you're in some bum country and need to deal with your local importer
>>11919555Last season was brutal, they would reject most of my submisssion and I've seen worse in the mainpage
>>11920895>>11920945thanks dudes
>>11920956wait reject? they actually say rejection?

>>11920968Yeah, it sells pretty well at Ross from what I’ve seen.
>>11920968Not here though. Same ones that came in around 3 weeks ago.
>>11920988No, sells well everywhere it's sold. I'm sorry you're so salty about that reality.
>>11920991That's called a restock. Go outside more.
>>11921021you work at the store and know they're not the same ones that have been sitting there? did you go outside to visit that store and check?
How many full size Buzz color variants did they do and why was he seemingly the only character that they did this with?
>>11916454Pixar owns him.Other TS toys, like Mister Potato Head, were existing toys owned by or trademarked by some conglomerate, and the cloth soft goods mentioned here>>11916460
>>11916454I regret what a flop Lightyear was. I hope they fired whoever ran that terrible movie, because it killed off the toyetic market potential the regular Story toys had
>>11919286>I regret what a flop Lightyear was.I have never had such a massive excitement to disappointment whiplash when it came to collecting toys based on a movie. I was all in on the designs and the different spaceships. I liked how they kind of looked like a fusion of the X-Wing, Arwing, and 60s to modern fighter jets, and the marketing gave the impression that they would feature heavily in the film, only for them to appear in a 10 minute montage and the rest of the film be about how much Buzz sucks compared to the donutsteele black chick. Fucking waste of time.Never buying toys before seeing a film again.
>>11919286>>11921107I'm very happy this glup shitto wholesome nostalgia member berries brand is dead and deserves to die given how fucking lame forky is as a toy and actual plastic is waste making a fucking fork character toy>OH BUT IT HAS A PIGY BANK, AND MR POTATO HEAD LIKE FROM THE GOOD OLD DEPRESSION ERA, AND A ROOTIN TOOTIN COWBOY ITS SO NOSTALGIC AND WHOLESOME ITS LIKE THOSE OLD TIMEY GRANDPA AND GRANDMA MEBER BERRIES
>>11921107>Never buying toys before seeing a film again.Well yeah. You should only buy toys because they're great toys, not because you watched something. Despite the shit movie, SHF Buzz is best Buzz. Also got me a Z-Bot because it's a cool tall Yellow Devil
I didn't realize why and when Kenner released SO MANY Batmobiles. Why they do this?
What's the consensus on the Mezco Batmobiles? I am tempted by both the 89 and Animated ones, they look great. I like that the 89 box pays homage to the Toybiz box. Do you guys own them?
>>11911238It's weird how the shields never came back in any capacity in any other Batman media again. They seemed like a smart ides.
>>11915515I guess it made more sense to just make the car itself heavily armored enough that it wouldn't need separate shields
>>11910585>I had pic related that had no roof.I'm honestly glad I never got that as a kid. Not having the rood would have bugged the hell out of me. I know I would have played with it for three seconds before going and colouring in some cardboard with a black marker and taping it to the top of the car.
>>11913866What are you, some kinda asshole? You probably drive real slow in the ultra fast lane too.

>>11915171>Lego certainly does not hate Bionicle as a whole
>>11920887By that logic they hate Star Wars and LOVE Vikings
>>11920472>Speaking of, there was some Bionicle eceleb troon a couple of years ago who lost his collection when his car caught fire with it all in it and he was ebegging for replacements, anyone know what I'm talking about? The name's on the tip of my tongue.You sure you are not mixing this with Essenger (who isn't even a troon) getting his tour van on fire and getting some bionicles he had for the trip and a Makuta mask prop burnt?
>>11921057I probably am. He's kind of a troon. Troon-adjacent anyway.>>11920756No, *I* am Poopdickschizo!

>>11920358I got one or two of those in my big haul I think, should be a good, then again I got like a ton of interesting parts and just a lot of bulk, should gather a little bit more, just gotta figure out what sone parts can be used for, picrel>>11920391Was it in the Surgery set?
>>11920391I honestly thought they retired this piece in general years ago. It was such a staple piece of 90's space sets (especially Ice Planet) and I feel like I hadn't seen it in years, then there were 8 of the black ones in the Black Pearl from last year.
>>11920391>Chainsaw BodyI always thought of it as a space gun piece tbdesu. Or maybe like a high-tech crossbow.
bought a small tub of legos from the thrift store, a partial build of an atlantis set, going to see if I can rework it into an anacodrai hq for my ninjago guys since the shark head thing kinda looks like a snake
>>11920975Be careful witu the stairs, they may be fragile
I just don't understand what it is about a particular subset of 80s kids like grew up mid to late 80's because my dad is early 80's and he not like that but he watched more live action that just can't let go of shit and always want their stuff to go on forever and obsessive over these toy shows, there's no other genration really like that even the ''90's kid'' thing fizzled out but you still got these 80's guys buy like fucking Silverhawks figures and shit. I guess it's because the other gen stuff wasn't merch driven as much but I don't know like a 2000's kid doesn't go on and on about like Xiaolin Showdown like these 80's fuckers do with like rant videos on Youtube of He Man or whatever. Which I love as a kid if our shows got more toys but still feel like even if they did people wouldn't be like this, Pokemon card guys are the Millennial version but at least it's to like one thing and they don't care about shows/movies. What's Gen xers deal?
>>11920872There is also the reality that companies are risk adverse, they don't want to make new IPs because there is a huge chance they crash and burn and waste tons of money. Its not like the 80s and 90s anymore where there was kids tv time slots every day and a huge block on saturday, and huge retail shelf space where even a franchise that 'failed' could make OK money. That shit is all gone so they want to play it safe most of the time, spider-man always sells after all
It was the generation JUUUUUUST in that area where before Cartoon Network and cable TV had made it so we had alternate things to watch. Your TV stations on UHF were WHERE you went to after school, and you had to be there on time (and you WERE) to watch cartoons. Then you'd see them again when the series rewound back again to the first episode. Not only that, advertisements were rampant, toy technology was getting cool (the Transformers/Diaclone/Microchange stuff was so new and amazing). YOUR toys as an 80s kid looked NOTHING like your dad's toys. They were now legitimized. Star Wars figures were ejaculated everywhere cheaply and in abundance. You waited in anticipation for the next commercial, hoping to see new stuff. Licensing went bonkers and soon EVERY movie seemed to get a line. Between being inexpensive, and toy technology, in a TIMELY fashion being able to let you see a cartoon and also be holding the toy of a character... man. Plastic crack. We never went to rehab.
>>11920855>. Gundam Wing was the first Gundam anime to really do good in the US tooIt was the only one to do well in the US initially. They followed it up with the original despite Bandai America's protest. BoJ couldn't understand that American kids didn't want what Japanese kids might like. This lead to BoA's choices being pushed aside in favor of things like dubbing the original OYW shows and making SD Gundam Force because BoJ had been trying to push SD Gundam into US markets for decades. The shows BoA chose, Wing and G, were the two that made money for them. Though G did not do as well as Wing. They wanted X too but BoJ wouldn't agree to it. By the time SEED came out the moment had passed and the Saturday night toonami was a massive ratings downgrade to the after school block. SD Force did a lot of damage to the brand too. Especially with retailers.
>>11920937Americans are too retarded for model kits anyway it needs to be easy baby shit like blokees or lego, and now toys r us is gone because of woke star wars
>>11920983Woke Star Wars absolutely hurt... everything... but what happened to the finances/debt reallocation of Toys R Us is what killed it, in a more innocent version of what happened to Crazy Eddie's. But yeah... Disney. The Walmart here still has 2 full pegs of Lando Calrissian from like 2019? lol.
I need all kinds of buildings, scene pieces, NPC figures, lighting for it, just STUFF either by picture or link, en masse.I'm brainstorming a track layout for an 8x4.25ft footprint with a picrel shaped track. Foam/papercraft is fine, I'll look at resin. Kinda whatever but lights are a priority too. Any actual /toy/ parts that are realistic can go in too.
Look at EVAN Designs for lighting stuff.
>>11916401I'm slowly gathering shit to make my own buildings, right now I have a couple of cardboard boxes, plus a bunch of thinner, stiffer cardboard to cut for accents and shit. Plus plastic sprues from gunpla and wargaming minis. Once I get some spending money, I'll buy a hobby knife, masking tape and spackle and get to making them.
>>11917046>EVAN DesignsGood one!>>11919507As in swiss swtyle with wood crossbeams? That kind of building? That's what it sounds like.
The Michael Jordan of figure collecting. Alwayz ready. He’s not finished.WOO WOO WOO, YOU KNOW IT!!

Has anyone seen a toy from when i was younger? Google & eBay searched but cannot find it. The toy in question was a big orb round spaceship of some type that opened up revealing the decks / platforms. There were likely figurines inside possibly alien. It was a see through translucent blue colour. I thought it was maybe from Titan A.E but it isn't. I owned it in the early 2000's
War Planets?
>>11920907Yes thank you so much, absolutely epic. will wishlist this for another day
idk why but his s medal just looks nicer to me
What's your opinion on NYCC? I usually go to SDCC, but mostly for the exhibit hall for the toys, any outside activities, and maybe one panel with no line.
Is Playmates doing anything this year?
>>11920240Nah, they're dead
>>11920246No they're not.
>>11920188Hopefully Hasbro has some cool stuff. I'd love some Tron figures from the first two movies.
>>11918295its shit
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>11919030Mate, take your cooked garbage and fuck off. Your horse shit might work on crunchy granola shit lib grandmas and dozen bumper sticker libertarians but I've seen too many people get diagnosed and treated to tolerate it . My dad, and many of his coworkers and friends, didn't spend over 20 years getting melanomas removed from from their face, arms and legs because of mobile phones
>>11914039Looking at the Extreme toys again, I like a lot of the 90s designs, and some of the vehicles look cool, but I can see why people weren't happy with the limited articulation, as being really well articulated figures in comparison to everything else was always a big deal for earlier GI Joe toys.I wonder if it would have helped to carry over some of the old cast, instead of creating Lt Stone, Black Dragon, Mayday and Freight, use Duke, Snake Eyes, Scarlett and Roadblock, maybe Joe Colton instead of Sgt Savage.
>>11920641Yeah I know exactly what you're getting at. It was just a far cry from ARAH. Pivoting to riding X-men's coat tails when legacy fans just wanted more meathead military action probably didnt help things. Part of me still believes Extreme would have had stronger legs as an original IP, but then again I love Sgt Savage and he didnt fare any better than Extreme did even with the ARAH articulation. GI JOE just seems destined to languish in failed reimaginings.
>>11911535Someone thought yellow and green was a great color combo and went balls deep with it. (Looks like my diabetes riddled yellow piss and by gross green snot mixed together)

>>11913485they are very large (about 1 foot/30 cm) and intricately engineered, i'm guessing about $350-$400 minimum
>>11920678I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere the lion combiner is 20 or 22cm tall. So under 9 inches for sure. And 52toys are pretty affordable compared to competitors, I’d be surprised if it’s more than $120 for the set.Also, do these arm connections look Diaclone compatible to anyone else?
>>11920738according to Hobby Japan Web the combined form is 30 cm
>>11920751I would doubt it very much from the pins and pegholes we see on the figure, but if they are, I'm passing, as that's way too large for me to enjoy playing with it.
>>11920799Same. I was actually hoping for no more than 8" or so, like maybe the latest Commander Optimus, at most. Like you're saying about those 5mm peg holes and 5mm ports, it doesn't look nearly that big. Maybe a bit taller than the aforementioned Optimus, if even. But we'll see. If the Ankylo vehicle/robot was 30cm, I'd buy that, he looked quite big.
